Plumber/Drainlayer

Verhaart & Laffey Ltd

Wairarapa college - This was a 2+ year job consisting of installing a lot of drainage and plumbing . I installed things like grease traps , man holes , sumps , soak pits , 100mm fusio-therm water mains and general plumbing.

Greytown School - I started this job laying a 150mm drain at 1:150 gradient over 100 meters. I would then backfill and compact the trench along with laying services like water mains and conduits. I gained good experience from this as we had a tight time line and a very small working environment.

Kuranui College - I did mostly drainage here - Like soak pits , storm water connections , laying services and down pipes. All while school is running , which taught me good time management.

Waiata House - I gained really good experience in installing channel grates, around 90meters all up with 2 grades on each channel for fall and surface water catchment. A lot of hand digging and hand mixing HandiCrete on this job.
